DoT sends 'national security reminder' to Airtel, Jio after SIM delivery plans
Airtel's plan for 10-minute SIM delivery via Blinkit was halted by the DoT due to national security concerns regarding self-KYC authentication. Reliance Jio, also planning a similar service, has put its launch on hold following the DoT's objections. The DoT mandates Aadhaar-based KYC completion before SIM card delivery, impacting both telecom operators' strategies for quick home delivery.
